It was a close call, ABC has officially announced that Coulson and co. will return for a sixth season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - albeit a considerably shorter than usual one.
The network has handed out an abbreviated 13-episode sixth season renewal for the Marvel TV series, the season 5 finale of which is set to air on May 18.
Despite waning ratings, S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to be a strong DVR gainer and an even stronger international seller for ABC. That said, this next season will almost certainly be the last one unless the show sees a dramatic spike in viewership.
This is obviously great news for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s loyal fanbase, but do any of you think that the show has run its course? Drop us a comment in the usual place.
